Is this bug present in Unity session? I don't really think there can be anything specific to Flashback.

Switching between "English (US)" and Chinese entry works for me, generally. When I'm using the "Ubuntu (Default)" (Unity) session, input candidates are also properly shown (a little floating window that shows candidate Chinese characters while typing). However, when I use the "GNOME Fallback" or "GNOME with Xmonad" session, as I normally do, the candidates do not show up at all. This makes Pinyin input useless.
